    Politicians are pretty good at manufacturing a crisis for the general public so they can win over the weak minded and make them feel safe while gaining popularity

    That line is my point. They can manufacture a crisis. The few truckers that screwed up pretty much poured gas on their fire.

    When I ran paper shippers and recievers didn’t give rats ### about my hours or service and how long is it gonna take them to load or unload. Was asked few times to “get creative” to deliver a load. None of that crap anymore

    That's funny, when I am getting screwed on how long it is taking to get loaded/unloaded. I tell them my log is runnig, they still look at me like I have 3 eyes and continue on with their smoke break. They could careless.

    There is no correlation between truckers "screwing up" and elogs coming about. Yet you seem to believe there is?

    It's ain't just Democrats and it ain't just Republicans brother. It's our leaders in general. Probably politicians from both sides voted in favor of this. Nonetheless, neither side really cares and neither side is doing anything to stop it. It's here to stay.
